Jamir today threatened to dissolve the >Assembly if the BJP government in the state continues to poach on Opposition MLAs. As I have said before, resignation of an MLA from a party, and then fighting elections on another party is the right way to go about things. It is not a violation of anti-defection or any other law. yes, the exchange of money is illegal. Opposition should try to get evidence of that; in fact, if they can get evidence of even money distributed prior to elections among voters, they may be able to get the election countermanded, I think. I wonder why the opposition did not follow that strategy. If the governor dismisses the house due to poaching, I doubt if the court will uphold it. regards, Samir Kelekar
